Hi,

I'm Emily, I'm an easy-going and fun-loving Brit, living and working in Moscow. I'm passionate about learning languages, I love reading, watching movies and gaming.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love my life here in Moscow, but I'd love to meet some new friends. Also, I'd like to try to get away on some weekend trips and might be interested in staying with someone. I'm not sure if I'd be able to host or not, but I'd like to!

Interests

I like reading, learning languages (I'm currently attempting to teach myself to read Hieroglyphics!), exploring new places, laughing, spending time with friends, gaming, all sorts of stuff!

Music, Movies, and Books

Books: I like mostly sci-fi, fantasy and horror books and graphic novels, but that's not exclusive. My favourite authors are Neil Gaiman, HP Lovecraft, Evgeniy Zamiatin, John Wyndham, Alfred Bester, Robin McKinley, Mikhail Bulgakov, and Garth Nix.

Movies: I also like sci-fi, fantasy and horror movies, but also action, adventure and a bunch of other stuff.... I basically just like watching a lot of movies!

TV: My favourite shows include: Firefly, Doctor Who, Buffy, Fringe, stuff like that.

Music: I have very eclectic tastes, but some of my favourite artists include: Radiohead, Why?, The Kinks, Daft Punk, The Kills, Modest Mouse, Them Crooked Vultures, The Beatles, Fleetwood Mac, The Pierces, Archie Bronson Outfit and a lot of stuff from the 90s!

I also like gaming, and some of my favourites are Bioshock (and Bioshock 2), Portal, Amnesia and a bunch of others)) I've also recently started playing D&D and am really enjoying it so far!
